I don't see the point in leaving it there. If you want to send something to coyote.coyote.den, why do you want the LAN address when 127.0.1.1 is just as good. If the line is correct, it does nothing; if it's incorrect, it can cause harm.
FWIW, I see absolutely no point in making the change. Debian uses 127.0.1.1 because it's there regardless of the network configuration, but in the case of a static IP there's no particular benefit in doing things that way. This entire subthread is a red herring as there's nothing particular problematic about the configuration in question.
